This place is a hidden gem. The grounds of the property are charming and well maintained. The main house is cozy and yet elegant at the same time. There were only a couple other people staying there at the time so we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We booked a triple room but when we checked in the owners ended up giving us an extra room that was right by the other one. We didn’t eat dinner but did have dessert and breakfast which were amazing. Highly recommend you go just for the food. We told them how much we loved the homemade shortbread cookies and Fiona the owner gave us some extra ones to take when we checked out. I can’t recommend this place enough and wish I had spent more time there.
